A container of negligible heat capacity contains 1kg of water. It is connected by a steel rod of length 10m and area of cross-section 10cm^(2) to a large steam chamber which is maintained at 100^(@)C. If initial temperature of water is 0^(@)C, find the time after which it beomes 50^(@)C. (Neglect heat capacity of steel rod and assume no loss of heat to surroundings) (use table 3.1, take specific heat of water =4180 J//kg.^(@)C)

Answer»

Solution :Let temperature of water at TIME t be `T`, then thermal current at time t,
`I = ((100 -T)/(R ))`
This increases the temperature of water form `T to T +dT`
`rArr i = (DH)/(dt) = ms (dT)/(dt)`
`rArr (100-T)/(R ) = ms(dT)/(dt) rArr overset(50)underset(0)INT (dT)/(100-T) = overset(t)underset(0)int (dT)/(Rms)`
`rArr -ln ((1)/(2)) = (t)/(Rms)`
or `t = Rms LN2 sec`
`= (L)/(KA) ms ln2 sec`
`= ((10m)(1kg)(4180J//kg-^(@)C))/(46(w//m^(@)C)xx(10xx10^(-4)m^(2)))ln2`
`= (418)/(46) (0.69) xx 10^(5) = 6.27 xx 10^(5) sec = 174.16 hours`
